I suggest we split the eac3to thread into two separate threads; one for development and related topics and one for general questions. This thread is getting enormous and finding answers by using search is surely difficult if not like trying to find a needle in a hay stack.

I've got one .ddp track that won't decode to DTS. EAC3TO gives error (this track is not clean...). I've tried DelayCut (selected fix crc errors), I always end up with file that is only about 100 Mb, original is about 1 Gb. Am I doing something wrong or is this file unrepairable?

I'm new to eac3to, and am having some trouble converting DTS-HD to AC3 for my 'Sunshine' Bluray disk. Using tsRemuxeR, I demuxed the main audio stream first, then I used the following command to convert the demuxed DTS-HD stream:
eac3to.exe 00001.track_4352.dts 00001.track_4352.ac3 -640 -down6 -8ms When I remux the lot, what I get is a file that will not stream at all: very jittery, that is; like it's < 10 fps (TwonkyMedia). But the sound is okay! If I stream the original .m2ts file, I hear no sound (which is logical, as I use the Optical Cable on my PS3, which doesn't support DTS-HD). So, it's not a bandwidth issue; at least, none that I can think of. The new AC3 track is only about 500MB, when done. Seems fair to me; but apparently it's not. :) The new, remuxed, .m2ts file plays just fine from my hard-disk, btw. So, what could cause this to happen? This is the output of eac3to: DTS Master Audio, 5.1 channels, 24 bits, 48khz The Sonic decoder doesn't seem to work, will use libav instead. The libav DTS decoder doesn't decode the full DTS-HD information. Extracting DTS core... Remapping channels... Loading white noise (needed for dithering)... Applying RAW/PCM delay... Encoding AC3... Creating file 00001.track_4352.ac3... eac3to processing took 2 minutes, 37 seconds. Done. Thanks.

Where did you get that ddp track and how did you demux it? Re-ripping the disc might solve the problem. |

* Use the original .m2ts file as input in eac3to and don't demux the track with tsmuxer. * Don't use the -down6 switch, since both sonic and libav decoders output 6 channels. I also suggest you use the sonic decoder (if you don't have it, buy it ), since it decodes the full dts-hd info, and your ac3 track will (theoretically) sound better. |

Sonic works, but, sadly, the result was the same: video drops to < 10fps. I also tried to take the original m2ts file as input, but I get 1: Chapters, 32 chapters 2: h264/AVC, 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9) 3: DTS Master Audio, English, 5.1 channels, 24 bits, 48khz, -9ms 4: AC3, English, 5.1 channels, 384kbit/s, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB, -23ms 5: DTS, German, 5.1 channels, 24 bits, 768kbit/s, 48khz, -9ms 6: DTS, Spanish, 5.1 channels, 24 bits, 768kbit/s, 48khz, -9ms 7: AC3, English, 2.0 channels, 224kbit/s, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB, -23ms 8: AC3, English, 2.0 channels, 224kbit/s, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB, -23ms Track 4 is used for destination file "00001.ac3". Uhhm, no, I don't wanna use Track 4 (which seems to be commentary track). I want Track 3, converted to AC3, instead. Is there a way I can force eac3to to use a specific track? I couldn't find a switch for it. I'm still baffled, though, as to why the video framerate drops so significantly in the stream. Interestingly enough, if I actually DO use track 2 + 3, within tsRemuxeR, the resulting m2ts file streams just fine (but you get the Director's Commentary dubbed over the sound). So, it almost must be related to the new AC3 stream, but I don't know why.

You command line should be:
Code:
eac3to input.m2ts 3: output.ac3 |

Actually, I don't think it was the AC3 stream at all. But taking your advice a bit further, I decided NOT to demux the video first, either, and instead just to click away everything but the H.264 VC-1 stream, and then to add the new AC3 stream. And voila! now it's perfect again. I guess something in the demuxed video stream gets screwed up (even though it would play just fine from harddisk) that is required for proper streaming; that's why the original stream + DTS-HD would play well streamed too: because it wasn't demuxed first (and why I mistakingly thought the new audio must be at fault). Ok, well, thank you again very much! And I'll go talk to the tsRemuxeR folks about the demuxing weirdness.

From Post #1 and eac3to built-in Help:
Code:
eac3to v2.46, freeware by madshi.net... Options: -448 use "192", "448" or "640" kbit/s for AC3 encoding... |

When i ask madshi about this (yes, i did exactly the same question), he told me that he didn't put all this bitrates in the 1st post/help in order not to make them long and tough to read.
Of course all legal bitrates are supported for AC3 and dts encoding. |

Got a missing sync byte error in Finding Neverland. What's does that mean? And is there any way to repair or avoid this error?
